Just as long as there is a standard .tar.gz for all us people who don't use
RPM.

Please correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't an RPM have a pre-defined
structure for where the files go?

How exactly could you produce an RPM to put RC in a webroot if you don't know
where that webroot is when you built the RPM?

And if is there is a standard webroot for RPM based distributions, what about
the people who don't install RC system wide?  Or in a virtual hosted domain?

I could be wrong in my assumptions about RPM (given that I tend to avoid
anything RPM related like the plague), but I just can't see how it would work.
